@Nagval333 I really enjoyed this.  The concept, the style and setting, the music and the pacing - creatively great and well executed.  I got to Level 30 (100+ kills) and it kept me engaged.  If you were looking for suggestions, I'd mention that the upgrade path was initially slow (to the point some players may never achieve a single upgrade?), then seemed to quicken on the second half of upgrades as things became quite easy comparatively.   I'd also mention that finger placement meant I often hid the opponent, so I never really appreciated their variety, their rank, or their reward.  Again, great simple game

Terrific game, I found it mega hard! My high score was 2 for a while, but I quite liked that difficulty, without it I think things would be stale and you kind of get into a groove after a while, where I amassed a mighty 11 (!).

I spent $500 for a heart upgrade, but didn't realise it only counts for the next run. Not sure if that is a good thing or not but my expectation (from other games) is that an upgrade is usually forever in these sorts of games. Not necessarily saying it _should_ be a forever upgrade, just that it was unexpected. I'm also not sure how you might solve that without more obvious text, which would kind-of break the immersion you've built up, which I really like in games. Of course, it may very well just be me and no-one else is so easily confused!

Hi b10b. You right after first upgrading the game become more easy. Maybe I will little-bit change the difficulty on high levels. One of the problems is that difficulty may vary from device to device, so I tried somehow to to balance it.
About finger placement like previous, it's depend on device, on PC, tablets and iPad there is no such problem I guess, on not so big displays yes it's not very comfortable

Hi mattstyles. Options to make permanent upgrading is pretty interesting (so player will always start with upgraded number of lives). In that case I have to make some changes in heart prices and maybe in other aspects.

Yeh, I'd agree - like @mattstyles said it went against expectation.  But it made more sense over time when the rewards were higher and hoarding paid off (so I didn't mention it).  I think permanent is the better choice.

Play tested using Chrome on MacOS Mojave.

Delightful quick-shot game. Performed well without any glitches, with a fun visual style. The difficulty is somewhat unforgiving at first, but encourages the upgrade system to advance to the next tiers of gunfights.

Nice job taking a simplistic concept and creating an absorbing game from it.
